I'm keepin' her 'till Social Security won't buy SO2 replacements anymore.

 

test

 

probably for 2- 3 more years.
if anything as exciting and fun comes out then, i'll get it-
otherwise i wanna get another brand new s2000.

 

Because I plan to keep the S2000 until they bury me, does not mean I won't buy other cars. But this one's a keeper, for sure, nor matter what else comes along.

Certain cars I believe you should keep for life or as long as possible, whether its for the sentimental value, or its unique and special, etc. The S2000 I think is that type of car, at least for me.

I plan to get other cars but the S is a keeper!

 

I plan on keeping the S2000 until death do us part but then I think once the S2000 production comes to an end, what if Honda decides to remain in the roadster market and keep up with the competition by manufacturing a different newer model version with the I-VTEC, 300 odd hp, more torque and all the other improvements many on this board ask for...what do I do then

 

I have never sold any car that I ever had until it stopped running completely or was otherwise unrepairable. I imagine that I will do the same with my S2000. Now that I am used to doing so, I actually prefer driving an older, high mileage car. Currently, my wife uses the S2000 more often than I do. Eventually, she will become bored with it and then it will become mine to drive until it no longer runs. For now, I am still enjoying my 1986 Celica.

 

I too would like to keep my S for many years, but with my history, 5 years is about the average. Have a company car now, so I can save it for fun only. Maybe that will make the difference. My wife and I agree that this is a keeper.
